Mr. ARNETT. I would say a straight line behind the cameras would have
been about like Mr. Davis from me [indicating].
Mr. GRIFFIN. What I am asking you here, I am asking you to tell me
about how far up the Main Street ramp you were standing from the TV
cameras; would you say that the TV cameras and you were the same
distance up the Main Street ramp or they were a little bit in front of
you?
Mr. ARNETT. They were a little in front of me.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How much; by a little bit, would you say?
Mr. ARNETT. Well, 5 feet.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Maybe 5 feet in front of you. Could they have been less
than 5 feet?
Mr. ARNETT. I don't believe they would have been. They could have. I am
just roughly guessing now.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, were there people congregated around those TV
cameras, in front of those TV cameras?
Mr. ARNETT. In front of it?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. ARNETT. I don't remember any of them being in front of it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about along the sides of the TV cameras?
Mr. ARNETT. If I remember right, there was a man at each one of the
cameras, operating it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But there weren't other people crowded down around them?
Mr. ARNETT. Not that I remember; no, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well now, wouldn't Captain King and that newspaperman have
blocked your side vision over in the direction of the TV cameras?
Mr. ARNETT. It could have.
Mr. GRIFFIN. If Jack Ruby had walked down that Main Street ramp would
you have seen him?
Mr. ARNETT. Not without turning around and looking back, I wouldn't
have; no, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you have any occasion to turn back and look around
after Rio Pierce's car went up?
Mr. ARNETT. No, sir.
